Scattering CJ is a Facebook page started by Hallie Twomey on November 11, 2013, to commemorate her eldest son C.J. Twomey, who died by suicide in 2010. Through the Facebook page, Hallie asked if anyone would be willing to scatter a small amount of C.J.'s cremains in a location of their choosing. Since the founding of the page, C.J.'s ashes have been scattered in over one thousand locations worldwide, including Machupicchu, Peru, Machu Picchu, the Great Barrier Reef, the Great Wall of China and Mount Kilimanjaro.
